If you like to write fantasy or perhaps historical fiction, then you may have encountered the idea of the medieval knight.

They were walking tanks back in their day and held a significant amount of societal influence.

But being so powerful, they were also prone to corruptive behaviours, particularly seen in the Hundred Year War between England and France.

In this latest episode of The Fantasy Writers' Toolshed podcast, our oracle of history, Aidan Mattis of The Lore Lodge podcast, joins me for a chat about knights of the middle ages.

We look at how they developed, their roles and lives, the code of chivalry that was designed to help keep them in check, and how writers can apply all of this to their stories.
